Stanford Researchers Demonstrate a New Nanostructured Lithium Sulfide/Silicon Rechargeable Battery System with High Specific Energy

Green Car Congress

The lithium/sulfur system, which during the redox process behaves according to the reaction 2Li + S ? V vs Li/Li + (about 60% of the voltage of conventional Li-ion batteries), the theoretical capacity of sulfur is 1,672 mAh g -1 , which leads to a theoretical specific energy of ~2,600 Wh kg -1 for the lithium/sulfur battery.

Sulfur–TiO2 yolk-shell cathode for Li-sulfur battery shows best long-cycle performance so far

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Stanford University and SLAC led by Stanford associate professor Yi Cui have used a sulfur–TiO 2 yolk–shell design for a cathode material for a lithium-sulfur battery that achieved an initial specific capacity of 1,030?mAh?g This is the highest performing sulfur cathode in the world, as far as we know.
